Dr. Yaejin Park, MD
I strive to provide compassionate and holistic care with the integration of supportive psychotherapy and medication management. My professional interests include treating a wide range of psychiatric conditions including depression, anxiety, PTSD, and eating disorders.
I am a board-certified adult psychiatrist at Talkiatry. I received my medical degree from the University of Illinois at Chicago School of Medicine and completed my psychiatry residency training at Mount Sinai Morningside West.
Find a psychiatrist in Georgia
Waiting weeks for a first psychiatry appointment is a common problem in Georgia, and it’s one reason many people put off getting help. Talkiatry connects you with a psychiatrist licensed in Georgia, so you can be seen from anywhere in the state by secure video. Because visits happen from home, you skip the drive and the long wait, and you can often be seen in days rather than months.
How online psychiatry works in Georgia
You start by answering a few questions online about your symptoms, history, and what you are looking for. From there, you are matched with a psychiatrist who is licensed in Georgia, which means you can meet from home as long as you are physically in the state during your visit. Your first appointment lasts about 60 minutes, giving you time to talk through your symptoms, ask questions, and work with your psychiatrist on a plan. Follow-up visits are usually around 30 minutes, so you can check in, review how treatment is going, and adjust as needed.
What a psychiatrist in Georgia can help with
Psychiatrists are medical doctors, so they can diagnose conditions, prescribe medication, and manage it over time. An online psychiatrist in Georgia can help with a range of concerns, including anxiety, depression, and ADHD. Medication is one possible part of a treatment plan, not the automatic result of a visit. Depending on your needs, your plan may also include therapy, and your psychiatrist will talk with you about what fits.
Does insurance cover a psychiatrist in Georgia?
In most cases, yes. Talkiatry is in-network with most major insurers, so many patients use their existing coverage for online psychiatry. Your coverage is verified during the free assessment, before you schedule, so you know where you stand up front. What you pay out of pocket depends on your specific plan, so it is worth confirming the details with your insurer.
Getting mental health care in Georgia
Finding a psychiatrist in Georgia can take time because much of the state does not have enough providers to meet demand. As of December 31, 2025, KFF reports that Georgia's designated mental health professional shortage areas meet only about 45.3% of the state's need for practitioners, and that an estimated 174 more practitioners would be needed to remove those shortage designations. For you, that shortage can mean a longer search close to home. Seeing a psychiatrist online helps by connecting you with a licensed psychiatrist anywhere in Georgia, rather than limiting you to the providers in your immediate area.

Can I see a psychiatrist online in Georgia?
Yes. If you live in Georgia, you can meet with a psychiatrist licensed in the state by secure video. You just need to be physically located in Georgia during your appointment, which lets you be seen from home anywhere in the state.
Can you go straight to a psychiatrist, or do you need a referral?
In most cases you can book directly, without a referral from another doctor. With Talkiatry, you answer a few questions online and get matched with a psychiatrist licensed in Georgia. Some insurance plans do ask for a referral, so it is worth checking with your insurer if you are not sure.
What is the difference between a psychiatrist and a psychologist?
A psychiatrist is a medical doctor who can diagnose mental health conditions, prescribe medication, and manage it over time. A psychologist is not a medical doctor and focuses on therapy and psychological testing rather than prescribing. If medication may be part of your care, a psychiatrist can evaluate and manage it.
Does insurance cover online psychiatry in Georgia?
Often, yes. Talkiatry is in-network with most major insurers, and your coverage is verified during the free assessment before you schedule. Because plans differ, your out-of-pocket cost depends on your specific plan, so confirm the details with your insurer.
Can a psychiatrist prescribe medication online in Georgia?
A psychiatrist can prescribe and manage medication when it is clinically appropriate and legally permissible. A prescription is never guaranteed; it depends on your evaluation and what your psychiatrist recommends. Some medications may not be available for online prescribing in Georgia, and if that applies to your care, your psychiatrist will talk through the options with you.
How soon can I be seen?
Many patients are matched and scheduled within days rather than months, though timing depends on availability. After you finish the online assessment, you can book a first visit with a psychiatrist licensed in Georgia at a time that works for you.
